How we can help

Small businesses are pivotal to the strength and culture of the Cowichan Valley. We are proud supporters of small business entrepreneurs in every form. We believe that starting a business is one of the boldest, most exciting things you can do. We are here to handle the legal side of things so you can focus your energy on starting and growing your business.

We will work with you to determine the best legal structure for your business. We will manage the annual legal paperwork and ongoing maintenance required by the government. If you are ready to grow or retire by buying or selling a business, we're here to represent you through that complicated process.

We deal with corporate financing, reorganizations, restructuring, and other complex commercial transactions, often working in conjunction with your accountant.  Our lawyers are experienced, professional, and comfortably accessible.
